Rebuilding a Broken System

America had become a broken system that has failed many
Americans to believe that tough problems outside of the
government's control have made things difficult for the people.

The truth is, most of the problems we face today were created by
government, and can be solved by simply reigning that government
in.

The framers of the Constitution knew that government has a
tendency to grow. Because of this they wrote a constitution for a
republic that would limit the government from expanding.

But the constitution, while it might have many good rules, is
just a piece of paper. If those in the government decide to ignore
it, that paper can't stop them. It is up to the people to use their
to stop government from growing and abusing it's power.

Things aren't as bad as they seem. There is still time to repair
the system.

Our government still functions on systems that were created over
two centuries ago. And while many of the rules and systems are
still valid, many of them need to be updated. With today's
technologies, government can operate more efficiently and less
intrusively.

While government has continued to grow, they have implemented
many technological advances. Unfortunately, most of these
technological advances have been in systems that can be used
against us, like mass surveillance, weapons, internet censorship,
etc. Meanwhile, not much effort has been put into systems that
would allow us to use our power to enforce the rules of the
constitution and limit government, such as voting systems, and
transparency.

Ironically, the same technology that they are willing to use
against us in mass surveillance has been resisted heavily when
those have attempted to use it to surveil the government. For
example, many places in government from city council meetings to
the supreme court do not allow recording devices or public
broadcast.
